I see a lot of people are going ape shit over this rifle. Is it really that good?

I've been tempted to buy one a few times, just because it'll be easier to transport. I hardly bring out my regular 10/22 out because it takes up precious space in my rifle bag. Cleaning will also be much easier with the takedown.

To all the guys who have one (or more), is it really worth it? I also see a lot of guys selling them. Must be a reason for that too

I have one.  Very nice to be able to transport in a "covert" style.

As you said, cleaning is easier. 

This video shows how useful you can make it for quick bug-out in an event (natural disaster, etc.).  Running out of the house to an evac bus or trying to check into a shelter with a full-size gun case might present a problem.

The Takedown is a good rifle for the reasons you listed. I am selling mine because I am using a Browning Belgium "original" takedown rifle that I got.

Compact size lets it fit in a bug out bag. Plus lots of aftermarket parts!!!

...AND a bag of chips!

hope they come out with aftermarket parts specifically for the takedown. a two piece aftermarket stock or drop in barrel replacements.

Man. I guess I was just trying to talk myself out of one but there doesn't seem to be any negatives about it. All the reviews I find online are favorable

I had one a while ago and while it was cool to take apart and put back together, I prefer the folding stock on my 10-22:

1.  not much longer overall than the TD

2.  can fire it with or without the stock folded

3.  don't have to fumble with separate parts in the dark, in a vehicle, on the run, etc.

4.  once SHTF you'll probably be open-carrying, in which case the folding stock is much more portable

5.  I don't like fiddling with the barrel tensioning do-hickey (is it as tight as the last time?, did I overtighten it? etc)

so I ended up selling my TD. 

The coolest thing was the bag it came in, so I've ordered another one.  Not really a stealthy bag, what with that big red turkey (or whatever) embroidered on it, but when you take it to the range everyone knows what's in it.

Don't get me wrong--I like the TD and I think it's cool (and I'm buying another one), but I prefer the folding stock version.

my 0.02

if you're thinking about getting one you might as well give in to the dark side and buy it, if you don't like it i'm sure someone else will be more than willing to take it off your hands for you....

Its a 10/22 taking one of the best selling guns ever giving it a face lift.  Parts are available to make it more bad ass.
If you want a cool survival gun look for a bronco in .22lr/ .410

I would buy it if I was in Alaska or some where I could take it hiking.  To me its just a super portable range rifle.

Yes, but what if you don't own a car and have to ride a bike or the bus to the range?

Wait ... this sounds familiar!   

Good point moosed.  Didnt think of that.

No need.  You could just shoot into your yard from the graveyard next door.
